We are moving from CVS to Git, and after that we are going to use Hudson to 
build the projects from Git. Now, I was wondering how WO people handle 
frameworks dependencies when building WO applications. So far, I see two 
options:

- Have jobs to build all the frameworks and put them in one location, and have 
wo.local.frameworks to point to that place.
- Building each frameworks "locally" (eg, in the job directory of the 
application that is going to be build)

Problem for option #1 is that we do have some applications that use different  
branches of the frameworks, so by having a central location some frameworks 
would be override by a install made from a different branch. 

Option #2 is better, but since most applications have at least 5 frameworks, 
and we have over 40 applications, that means that some frameworks might be 
build 40 times... Not very efficient.

I guess an option would be to use a central location for stuff coming from the 
trunk, and that each project have a custom wobuild.properties file + a 
Library/Frameworks folder in the workspace of the Hudson job for the 
application. That "local" Library/Frameworks folder would have symlinks to the 
central location of frameworks coming from trunk, and if some framework is not 
coming from trunk, it is build with the application job.

Any opinions on that? Should I move the team to Maven just before I leave my 
job in one month? :-)
